- Intervention effect ATS, LS, S or NaCl sprays on apple blossoms significantly reduced the number of pollen grains that germinated in vivo compared with no spray.
- Intervention effect All treatment sprays significantly reduced apple pollen germination in vitro compared with the control.
- Intervention effect ATS and LS considerably reduced pollen tube germination of apple pollen.
- Intervention effect HV completely hindered apple pollen germination.
- Intervention effect Among treatments that allowed germination, LS, ATS and BD reduced the mean length of pollen tubes grown in vitro.
- Intervention effect Lime sulphur had a greater effect on apple pollen tube germination and growth on germination medium.
- Intervention effect ATS was an effective blossom thinner in the field.
- Intervention effect Lime sulphur was a good thinner in the field.
- Intervention effect NaCl reduced pollen germination on pollinated stigmas.
- Intervention effect NaCl was an effective mild thinner in the field.
- Intervention effect BD was an effective blossom thinner in the field.
- Intervention effect BD had less pollenicidal effect than the other products tested.
- Intervention effect BD had greater phytotoxic effects than the other products tested.
